Synopsis:

The anime presents a melancholic exploration of isolation and connection within a surreal, urban landscape. The narrative follows a young woman navigating a city steeped in a pervasive sense of loneliness, her existence intertwined with enigmatic figures and dreamlike encounters. Visually striking and atmospheric, the work utilizes fluid animation to create a world both familiar and unsettling. Character interactions are understated, emphasizing emotional resonance over plot-driven events. The experience is more akin to a contemplative visual poem than a traditional story, focusing on conveying mood and introspection through evocative imagery and sound design, mirroring the haunting beauty of the accompanying music. It invites viewers to consider the subtle complexities of human relationships in a world often defined by detachment.
